Chapter 103: Chapter 102: She Won’t Take the Bla for This
His expression was sowhat unusual, and Xie Huiyang stuffed his phone back into his pocket, asking with concern, “Su Jue, what’s wrong with you? Su Jue?”
Finally, Su Jue snapped back to reality from a blank state.
His first reaction was to apply to rejoin the group chat.
However, when he searched for the group again, it was nowhere to be found.
He didn’t even know why he had been kicked out, not to ntion he hadn’t seen any sign before it happened.
“Su Jue, the stock you ntioned the other day, I’ve already had my dad invest in it, 300,000! Whenever you decide to sell, rember to give the bros a heads-up, okay?”
Su Jue’s hand trembled slightly as he looked at Xie Huiyang at the sa table and then at Lu Xinnuan’s figure in front of them.
His spirit deflated.

After school, Lu Mian walked out of the gates, only to see Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen standing under the platanus across the street, seemingly waiting for her.
She didn’t walk straight and instead sauntered over, playing with her backpack straps.
Seeing Ye Jinwen’s baby face turned pale, she greeted him cheerfully, “Doctor Ye, what’s wrong with you?”
With a voice and look full of grievance, he retorted, “It’s all because of you!”
“?” Lu Mian laughed, “I don’t understand.”
Ye Jinwen, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, leaped in front of her.
Although he was more than ten centiters taller than Lu Mian, he seed to co up short in presence as he placed his hands on his hips, criticizing her: “Little Mianmian, you tornted all last night, and now you pretend not to understand! I’m the one who truly doesn’t get it—almost drained dry by you, ow!”
Not only drained dry, but he was also nad and criticized as the worst student among the worst students that Lu Mian had brought along.
Lu Mian narrowed her eyes and eyed him up and down with silent disdain.
This was one pot she wasn’t going to carry.
Xiao Qimo parted Ye Jinwen with a finger, speaking with slight distaste, “Mind your choice of words and context when speaking.”
Ye Jinwen: What the ow?
The refined gentleman ignored him, stepping forward to offer a box of delicate food items, saying gracefully, “I ordered so light porridge for you from MM Ji Restaurant; it’ll be ready for you to eat when you get back.”
His manner of expression wasn’t flamboyant but rather consistently gentle and just right, which was very comforting.
Most other girls would probably have already fallen for his gentlemanly charm.
But Lu Mian didn’t want to accept it.
He smiled, his handso brows and eyes tinged with tenderness, “The owner also included two hamburgers in there for you.”
Only then did Lu Mian reach out to take the handbag.
Under the comforting gazes of the two n across the street, she pulled out the hamburgers and handed back the porridge to Xiao Qimo.
“…” The thought processes of this little rascal were truly unique.
Xiao Qimo was exasperated, though the smile on his lips grew even more indulgent.
Following her wishes, he took the porridge back and casually asked, “Do you rember accompanying to the banquet last night?”
He rembered Sui Yuan’s advice and figured that Lu Mian must have experienced mory lapses after drinking, completely forgetting what happened last night.
To his surprise, Lu Mian nodded her head, looking perplexed as she asked back, “Why wouldn’t I rember?”
“You drank,” Ye Jinwen said faintly.
“Right, I had a sip of red wine from F Country’s Bordeaux Pomrol. Is there a problem?”
“…” Ye Jinwen pressed a hand to his forehead, “The issue isn’t that. It’s what happened after you drank!”
“I know I can’t hold my liquor. After I drank it, Director Qimo got a cup of warm water. Then you guys drove ho, and I even thanked you at the door. After that, I went to rest.”
!!!
Ye Jinwen’s expression almost crumbled, a hand slapped over his face.
He finally understood what Sui Yuan ant by not making a fuss.
Not only did Lu Mian have blackouts when she drank, but she also created a fabricated mory of the blackout.
Just look at her, so assertive and logical in her explanation. Jeez!
Xiao Qimo, however, was calm. After cursing little rascal in his heart, he coughed lightly to silence the playful Ye Jinwen.
Then the man spoke, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
“Lu Mian, I’ll be away on business for the next few days. Do you have any instructions for ?”
